Find Ancestors

I have tracked down a relative Ellenor (Ellen) Rayner maiden name Fairburn born 1798 in Yorkshire (Hartshead) I would love to know about her parents.. No luck on Genes so far finding much about her. Lots of the Rayner family were from that area .Although my Maternal Grandfather named Fairburn Rayner was born in Manchester 1878... Thank You for any help. Marje

Just putting for reference - I know you probably have this, but it helps us to put her in context. A few Ancestry trees have her parents as John and Sarah *Smith), though not sure where that came from!

She had amongst others Lydia and Joah (unusual)

So was her parents John 1754-1803 and Sarah nee Smith 1758,they baptised many children including a Joah and Lydia also a Ann 27/5/1798 maybe this was Ellen/Ellinor??

This is Ellen(or) in 1841 ................as Mary says, she has some unusual names for her children, and this could be a lead to finding the parents
